BLM urged to deny Kane County access to route

Mike Noel says that "There's no question that road has always been maintained by the county. There is a good, solid record of that." Whether or not Mr. Noel is speaking truthfully should be pretty easy to prove. Let's see how much, and when, Kane County has spent maintaining that road in the past 50 years - there must be public records of budget expenditures if he's being factual.

If there's ever been a clear opportunity for 'put up or shut up' in the ongoing RS2477 dispute, this is it.

BLM's public involvement process on this road is deficient. More than a year ago I asked the BLM State Office to put me on the mailing list for any such projects. They sent me no information on this one, and I only read about it in the news after the comment period closed. Our public lands should not be committed through this process without plenty of public participation.

Agreed on Ray's comments. I grew up in Kanab and am quite agitated to this whole dispute. If Bill Clinton had respected our choices and not stuck it to us for not voting for him, the GSENM would have never existed. But because of him, he made the GSENM and now we have the SUWA, Sierra Club, and others breathing down our necks.
Because of "envronmentalists," the locals (the ones exposed to the environment around us the most) cannot be the stewards of the land, and someone makes the decision from far away.
